As mopd requires an ELF image and the offical Debian netboot images
are tftpimages in ECOFF, you should try using MOP with
http://people.debian.org/~merker/experimental_packages/bf-pre3.0.24-20021224/unpacked/mopimage-r3k-kn02
As URL for getting kernel and modules give
http://people.debian.org/~merker/experimental_packages/bf-pre3.0.24-20021224/unpacked/
to the installer. These are installer images built from the Debian
"boot-floppies" CVS and contain an important fix regarding the Personal
DECstation series, which is not in the last official release.
